Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the strategic formulation and execution of global communication initiatives for the Defense portfolio. Serve as a principal advisor to senior executives to translate complex tactical technology into high-impact narratives for global stakeholders.
Requires a Bachelor's degree and at least 10 years of professional experience in PR or corporate communications. Candidates should have 5+ years of specific experience in defense, aerospace, or federal technology with a proven track record in international media relations.
At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with our people. We’re a global close-knit community, united by the relentless pursuit to help keep people safer everywhere. We build and connect technologies to help protect people, property and places. Our solutions foster the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future.
Motorola Solutions has a storied history in defense, dating back to its pioneering two-way radios used by the U.S. Army in the Second World War. This heritage has evolved, alongside modern global defense strategies, to include mission-critical communications that meet the government’s highest standards for data security, command center technologies that unify pertinent mission data and advanced video security technology, such as long-range thermal cameras. Recent investments have brought the company mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) technology that enables highly secure voice, video and sensor data transmission and radio frequency (RF) intelligence tools that can detect and geolocate RF signals in congested and contested environments. Together, this portfolio enables data-driven decision-making and enhanced safety and security across battlefields, bases and borders worldwide.
As the Senior Communications Manager, Defense, you will lead the strategic formulation, execution and orchestration of global communication initiatives for Motorola Solutions' rapidly growing Defense portfolio. This role serves as a principal communications advisor to senior executives and business leaders across our Federal and Defense divisions. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will translate highly complex defense, aerospace and tactical technology capabilities into differentiated, high-impact narratives tailored for distinct global stakeholders, including customers, potential customers, defense tech media, global institutional investors and the general public.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Narrative Development: Architect and execute comprehensive, long-term global communication and public relations strategies that establish Motorola Solutions as an elite innovator in the defense tech, tactical networking and counter-drone spaces.
Product & Customer Storytelling: Translate highly technical hardware and software capabilities into compelling, human-centric narratives that clearly demonstrate how our technology empowers data-driven decision-making across battlefields, bases and borders.
International Public Relations & Media Engagement: Orchestrate the company’s global defense PR and media strategy by nurturing deep relationships with national and international defense reporters and influential trade publications.
Thought Leadership & Executive Coaching: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, providing strategic counsel, message alignment and media training for high-profile defense interviews, speaking opportunities and trade shows.
Issues Management & Corporate Reputation: Anticipate, identify and manage reputational risks inherent to the defense sector, collaborating on issues management strategies and messaging under tight deadlines.
At the Senior Manager level, candidates are expected to demonstrate strong executive presence, exceptional situational leadership and the ability to operate effectively within high-stakes, highly matrixed global environments. The ideal candidate will possess:
Relevant Defense Tech Expertise: 5+ years of communications experience in defense, aerospace or Federal tech. Deeply understands the defense market environment, multi-year government buying cycles and tactical technology.
Proven International Experience: Background managing global PR campaigns, demonstrating cross-cultural communication capability and an understanding of geopolitical media dynamics.
Exceptional Verbal & Written Communications: A proven track record of translating complex defense tech into compelling narratives for diverse audiences—seamlessly shifting writing styles to satisfy highly technical defense audiences, investors and lay consumer/business media.
Demonstrated Media Relations Track Record: Established, current relationships with key tier-one defense and relevant mainstream business journalists. Demonstrated success in pitching and securing high-profile coverage, with a sophisticated understanding of today's rapidly evolving media environment and digital news trends.
Sound Reputational Leadership: Direct experience navigating high-pressure crisis communications or managing sensitive, complex narratives under rapid-response conditions.
Polished Presentation & Interpersonal Skills: Exceptional verbal articulation and strong interpersonal acumen to seamlessly guide cross-functional teams and company leadership.
